Highlights are added to your video while you are recording. You use the highlights to create a video 
story. The highlights from all your original videos files are shown. The symbol on the highlight shows 
the type of highlight.

right corner of the viewer to view the highlight in full-screen mode. 
You can adjust a highlight so it includes the most exciting part of the action.  
Video highlights 
Highlights are added to your video while you are recording. A highlight marks an exciting part of 
your action video, for example high speed, a jump or even a beautiful view that you might like to 
view later and add to your video story. A video can contain many highlights.  
The highlights let you easily playback your video, create your video story and share your video using 
the Mobile app or Bandit Studio. Your highlights are shown separately from the video they are in. 
Each single highlight marks a 6 second length of video. 
The highlights are added to your video using inputs from built-in sensors, external sensors, or 
manually, to highlight the most exciting parts of the action. The highlights from built-in and 
external sensors are added automatically. 
Tip: You can also add highlights to your video when you view it in the Mobile app or Bandit 
Studio, and you can adjust the position and duration of a highlight. 
The following highlights and their symbols are used: 
  
 
Speed. 
  
 
G-force. 
  
 
Maximum acceleration. 
  
 
Maximum deceleration. 
  
 
Maximum rotation.

Product and Safety Information 
 Before using your Bandit Action Camera, please carefully read all the safety precautions 
below. Failure to adhere to the guidelines and instructions set out below, in the Quick Start 
Guide and the Reference Guide could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or 
serious injury and/or a reduction in the performance of your Bandit Action Camera. 
 Abide by all local laws and pay close attention to your surroundings before and during 
shooting. Never operate or check your Bandit Action Camera when operating a bicycle, mo-
torcycle, car, or any other motorised vehicle.    
 Never operate a vehicle while operating your Bandit Action Camera with a strap. The strap 
may become stuck and it may cause a collision, falling, accident, injury or death. 
 If using your Bandit Action Camera with a helmet mount or strap (or any other accessory), 
always select accessories that meet the applicable safety standard. Choose the right helmet 
for your activity.  
 Pay close attention when mounting your Bandit Action Camera to prevent it from falling or 
being damaged.    Never mount your Bandit Action Camera in such a way that will obstruct 
or impair the user’s view. Any major impact (for example, dropping or bumping) may dam-
age your Bandit Action Camera. 
 Your Bandit Action Camera may get hot. The parts of your Bandit Action Camera could (in 
rare cases) cause skin irritation. Do not use or store your Bandit Action Camera in hot place 
such as an automobile, in a dusty, humid, or steamy place for an extended period of time. 
Your Bandit Action Camera is waterproof. However, TomTom does not guarantee waterproof 
ability in all conditions. Pay close attention when using your Bandit Action Camera in rain, 
snow, or by a body of water. If any abnormality is found during use, turn your Bandit Action 
Camera off immediately.    
 Do not use your Bandit Action Camera submerged in water or whilst carrying out activities 
on the water without the waterproof lens cover. The waterproof lens cover will keep the 
entire camera waterproof up to 40m (5 ATM) in static conditions. 
 The reliability of the camera when you use it under water depends on water pressure, depth 
changes, water contamination, water saltiness, water temperature, and other environmen-
tal factors. Moving the camera vigorously under water at a depth of 40 m (5 ATM) is not ad-
visable. If the camera is subjected to vigorous movement underwater, TomTom cannot 
guarantee that the camera will still function to its full capacity. 
 Keep your Bandit Action Camera’s lens cover and Batt-Stick clean. Small debris can cause a 
leak and/or damage your Bandit Action Camera. 
 After every use in water or near sand, mud or other foreign materials, rinse the outside of 
the camera casing with non-salt water. After cleaning, dry the camera with a clean, dry and 
lint free cloth. Not doing this can cause corrosion or camera failure. 
 Failure to follow these steps each time you use your Bandit Action Camera can result in 
leaks that may damage or destroy your Bandit Action Camera. Water will damage both the 
camera and the battery, which could cause an explosion or fire.  
 Scratches and cracks to the waterproof rubber will allow water to penetrate into your 
Bandit Action Camera.
